woRTH.THINK,Ne ABOUT.
Bob Ingersoll Compares the Scramble
OF To-day with the Peace
Of the Past.

Just as life becomes complex and as
everyone is trying to accomplish certain
objects. all the ingenuity Of the brain is
at work to get there by shorter way,
and, in consequence, this has become an
age Of invention. Myriads Of machines
have been invented--every one Of them
to save labor. II these machines elped
the laborer, what blessing they would
be! But the laborer does not own the
machine the machine owns him. That
is the trouble. In the oden time,
when was a boy, even, You know how
1t was in the little towns. There was a
shoemaker-two Of them-a tailor or
two. blacksmith, wheelright. 1 re-.
member just how the shops used to look.
I used to go to the blacksmith shop at
night, get upon the forge, and hear
them talk about turning horse-shoes.
Many a night have seen the sparks fly
and heard the stories told. There was
great deal Of human nature in those
davsl Everybody was known. Iftmes
got hard, the poor little shoemakers
made a living by mending, half
soling, and strengthening up the heels.
The same with the blacksmith !; the
same with the tailor. They could get
credit-they did not have to pay until
the next January, and II they could not
pay then. they took another year, aud
they were happy enough.
Now, one man is not shoemaker.
There is great buildinE-several hun
dred thousand dollars worth OF ma
chinery, three or four thousand people
not single mechanic in the whole
building. One sews on straps, another
greases the machine. cuts out the soles,
wakes threads. Aud what is the result ?
When the machine stops, 5000 men are
out of employment. Credit goes. Then
comes want and famine, and ifthey hap
pen to have little child die, it would
take them wears to save enough Of their
earnings to pay the. e.expense Of putting
away that title eacred flesh. And yet
by this machinery We can produce
enough to food the world. BY the IN
ventions in agricultural machinery the
United States can feed al the mouths
upon the earth. There is not a thing
that man can use that. cannot instantly
be over produced to such an extent as
to become almost worthless and vet
with all this production, with all this
power to create. there are millions and
millions In sbject want Granaries
bursting, aud famine looking into the
d,on Of the poorl Millions ofevery-
thing. and yet millions wanting every
| thing and having substantially nothing
Now. there is something wrong there
We have got into that contest between
machines and men. and If extravaganza
does not keep pace with ingenuity. it is
going to be the most terrible question
that man has ever settled. I tell you
tonight, that thsse things are worth
thinking about. Nothing that touches
the future Of our race, nothing thai
touches the happiness Of ourselves or oul
rhildren. Hhould be beneath our notice
Wa should think of these things-must
think Of them-and We should endeavoI
TO see that Justice is finally dsne between
man and man. -lngersoll.

TOP OF HIS HEAD OFF.

A Charge of Dynamite Gets in Its
Terrible Work.
A we'll digger from Devine, Texas,
who gave his name as Calvin, was
brought In to the city hospital yester-
day afternoon, suffering from the effects
of q dynamite explosion, which occurred
to him Wednesday last, while he was
digging q we'll near Devine. He said he
was digging In very hard bottom and
came to granite rock. Taking his crow
bar, he drilled hole In the bottom and
placed q dynamite cartridge therein
with fuse attached. Then he began
"tamping" the cartridge around to
make 1t firm, and while doing this, the
orowbar must have either struck the
fuse, or the cartridge, or striking the
flint rock, have caused Q spark. He
didn't know, only he said the next thing
he knew, he was sprawliDg on the bot
tom OF the we'll, with one hand mangled
and useless, and the entire front OF his
head blown of and his eyes put out.
Hearing the explosion, his wife and
brother came to the top Of the we'll and
he, with remarkable presence Of mind,
told them to let down the rope
WHICH =" Nc dttdCuou w . Wluui6sb ~ tuo
top. When the rope came down, he
made loop, placed his leg In 1t and
catching the rope with his uninjured
hand, his relatives drew him to the
surface and sent for the nearest
physician, who declaring he could do
nothing for him, babe him try some Of
the San Antonio doctors, and taking this
advice he was brough In yesterday.
DR.. BrsunnageI, city physician, in whose
charge he now 10, says IL is wonderful
thing how man can live SO long and be
perfectly conscious during the entire
time, afflicted In this manner. The
entire frontal bone and skull 10 blown
away and the throbbing Of the exposed
brain lie plainly visible. The sight OF
both eyes 10 gone and the only thing
that can be done is to poultice with
light poultices and keep fever away as
long as possible. Eventually the man
may die; II is impossible to conjecture
how he could recover, but up to this
writing he is conscious and has no fever
and not much pain.
